Australian dance luminary Lo'99 Enlists Owl Eyes for New Single 'Sometime'


Australian dance luminary LO’99 unleashes his latest offering ‘Sometime’, enlisting friend and triple j favourite Owl Eyes, adding her enchanting vocals to his deep, housey, rolling production.

Sitting perfectly on an afternoon mixtape as it would a late night dance floor, ‘Sometime’ truly is a standout from LO’99. The slow build gives way to his signature deep bass juxtaposing with Owl Eye’s smooth light melodies making for a truly infectious pop dance anthem.




The single also marks the return for Owl Eye’s feature vocals. Previously working on instant hits with Illy and Flight Facilities, she also released her first solo music since 2013 late last year titled ‘On Me’.

Sometime’ is the latest from LO’99, with his impressive catalogue of both originals and remixes aired globally on BBC Radio 1, 1xtra and triple j, quickly accumulating into four Beatport #1s in the process. His previous release ‘Take Me Back’ swept the UK club charts, landing at #5, while singles ‘Make Me Feel’, ‘Bizness’ and ‘From the Start ft. Elizabeth Rose’ both topped the ARIA Club Charts.

Successively, LO’s impressive list of remix credits continues to grow from Moby and Royksopp to Peking Duk and AlunaGeorge. Last year he was tapped to remix Fatboy Slim’s ‘Star 69’ for his remix EP ‘Fatboy Slim VS Australia’ which is still receiving love from acclaimed DJs like Claptone, Gorgon City and Kaskade.

LO’99 has just graced the stages of Splendour in The Grass, California’s Nocturnal Wonderland and was amongst a handful of Australian acts invited to play one of the coveted spots at EDC Las Vegas, twice, as well as a 24-date world tour encompassing the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

SWARÉ returns with his broody dance floor filler ‘REMEMBER’ ...electro beats and catchy choruses



We first heard from Swaré back in August with his eminently dance-able debut ‘I Want You to Move’ and now he’s back and ready to set dance floors across the country aflame with ‘Remember’. 

Listen via Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/i amsware/remember


The latest offering from the emerging Australian artist takes a different route from his debut release without losing any of the things we love about Swaré: slick vocals, big electro beats and oh so catchy choruses. 

Produced by ARIA-nominated Michael McGlynn (L-Fresh the Lion, Little May) and co-produced by Toby Chew Lee of MOZA, Swaré’s ‘Remember’ offers up a smooth, sexy dance pop sound sonicaly whilst exploring deeper lyrically. 

“’Remember’ definitely has more meaning for me personally”, Swaré explains. “It’s the first time I’m actually singing about stuff that happened to me that isn’t just about going out and dancing. I don’t think it’s a particularly dark track necessarily, there’s just more emotional stuff going on there. I still want people to dance to it.” 

No need for concern there! Wrap your ears around this one and let the music do all the work. Swaré has delivered the goods yet again.

Justin Hunter .. new single release "Clever Boy"..Depeche Mode meets The Presets



Justin Hunter is a passionate lover of life, absolute adventure maniac, ultra-marathon runner, electro music fan and instrumental pianist. Justin’s career began in the most humble of ways: in his hometown of Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, playing for tips on the piano in his local café. Just three years later Justin has sold thousands of CDs and acquired himself a legion of passionate fans.

Justin’s piano music seems to touch even the most unlikely of (potential) fans. His music has fallen into the hands of artists such as Chris Martin, Pink, Erykah Badu, MIA and Bono.

His first CD release came after customers were insistent that they be able to take his music home with them. ‘Mountain to Masses’, his first album cost a grand sum of $180 to record, and was quick to sell out in Katoomba and the surrounding towns. This prompted Justin to embark on a 10,000km CD-selling journey over the next few years, traveling inland from Queensland, through New South Wales and Victoria, where once in Melbourne, Justin decided to reside among the plethora of creative spaces available to young artists.

 The past few years have seen Justin sell volumes of CDs, unprecedented in the current industry for most independent acts without a label, publicist or via traditional retail. His fan-base has evolved through personalised, direct selling during his travels and the strength of word-of-mouth that lovers of music naturally generate.

Justin Hunter's latest dance track is entitled ‘Clever Boy’, which he worked on with DJ Northie. Described as "Depeche Mode meets The Presets", Clever Boy has Justin stepping up to the microphone to perform the vocals himself. ‘Never underestimate others’ is the underlying message of the song, inspired by Justin’s friends & life experiences. The process of being a fool, admitting your faults, getting wiser, and taking control of life defines ‘Clever Boy’.

Since the release of 'Bleed 4 You' with Silent Titan (Thundamentals), Justin is not slowing down. He is currently working with various DJ’s, whilst continuing to collaborate with DJ Kid Kenobi & singer/songwriter Abbe May.
